曲:Run - Stephen Fretwell
Really love the song. One of his best, (un)fortunately, so I'm kind of hoping he will come up with some new stuff soon. Think he would grow in the third album; his lyrics and songs in the second one did sound better.
It's the Presidents' Day Weekend, and we're heading to the San Juan Islands in 4 hours time. Just thought I'd check in. 2 hour bus ride, and a 1 hour ferry ride I think. You know, I think these are the things in the US I want to see before going home. San Juan Island is beautiful, or so I heard. Pictures to come.

And like I said, because you're overseas, you tend to want to hang on to traditions a bit more. I've never done tangyuan in my whole entire life in Singapore, but today, when you're making tangyuan with a group of friends, crowding around the pot with ginger and brown sugar, you realise how important these little traditions are. It's not really about why you eat tangyuan on the last day of the new year celebrations, but it's the random things you laugh and talk about and the bonds you make. Kind of emo-cliche ish, but I guess it's true cause it kind of is.
Seeing the
laojiaos in Yong Xi's and Doh's room was good. Skyping Andre when he was alone in his hotel room on his birthday was good too. I miss you guys, you know that.
And my eyes are closing, after waking up at 6.40am this morning. Sleep.
velda.
